The graph shows the depth, y, in meters, of a shark from the surface of an ocean for a certain amount of time, x, in minutes:
a graph is titled distance vs. time is shown. the x axis is labeled time in minutes and shows numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. the y axis is labeled distance from ocean surface in meters. a straight line joins the points c at ordered pair 0,66, b at ordered pair 1, 110, a at ordered pair 2, 154, and the ordered pair 3, 198.
part a: describe how you can use similar triangles to explain why the slope of the graph between points a and b is the same as the slope of the graph between points a and c. (4 points)
part b: what are the initial value and slope of the graph, and what do they represent? (6 points)

step-by-step explanation:

3

step-by-step explanation:

in standard form:

a= dictionaries

b= maps

you have to buy 3 dictionaries, so put a 3 next to the a (dictionaries) so that you can multiply them by each other.

a3+b= 60 (the amount of money you have)

we already know the cost of a=15 so replace a with $15

($15 x 3)+b=60

multiply 15 and 3 to get $45 and replace it with $45

45+b=60

and then replace b with 15 to get the total:

45+15=60

that means you have $15 left after buying 3 dictionaries.

15 divided by the cost of a map ($5) equals 3.

so you can buy 3 maps.

sorry if it was confusing!

$650 per month plus utilities

step-by-step explanation:

just based on the info you gave, it would seem more cost effective to rent at $650 per month plus utilities.   if utilities are, in fact, $150 per month, your monthly living costs would be $800 as opposed to the other option of $825.
